I posted this in the last thread and nobody answered, so I'll try again here. In 2.6.6-love1 I can run warcraft 3 perfectly, but in any later version of kernel, the cd is not detected properly as being in the drive and I get the "no cd found" error. Are there any patches/changes known that would cause this?

I've problems too with later versions of love, the suprmount patch even when enabled seems to not work properly. I can access the drives myself fine but winex seems to have problems with it. I suggest you disable suprmount and either use submount or just manually mount/umount.

That is just the announcement that Linus put out on lkml. I already linked to a reaction to that which showed the patch wasn't uploaded yet. But in the meantime it is, and it's on kernel.org now._________________"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln

First, I don't use supermount. Second, my kernel config is EXACTLY the same for all kernels. So no, it's not possible that supermount is screwing me over._________________There is no substitute for experience.
Imperfection indicates a lack of effort.

I finally got Reiser4 support in to kernel. 2.6.5-cko didnt work, but 2.6.6-love5 did the trick. Test Reiser4 partiotion seems to be fastest fs at moment, but i have one problem. I haven't found any good www-site which explain Reiser4 plugins and them use simply. Those what i have found are write to fs coders, not simple people like me ;)

So if someone knows good howto pages about plugin could they post links here. And topic just for Reiser4 wouln'd be bad at all, i haven't found that either. Usually this is just google problem i know.

hmmmmm, anyone else having reiser4 probs with this release....?
i get a kernel panic at boot telling me reiser4 support for small keys is needed... so i think, damn, did i put that option off...? but i didn't, it still was large keys in menuconfig... i even tried setting this to small keys, but got the same problem...
on 2 other machines of me, i don't have this problem with love5.. i even deleted the whole sources, make a fully new .config, but every time the same kernel panic..

so anyone else using reiser4 with love5?

Same here same problems... fully Reiser4 system... any help appreciated

It's a known thing. That's why this isn't an offical release._________________Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it.

I had problems like this, and I found that if when I created the fs I overrode the key format to use small keys everything worked fine.

Here's an example:

Code:

mkfs.reiser4 -o key=key_short /dev/hda4

Damm i cant get anything to work not fb or not bootsplash!! And i had this problem with all kernels!! It works on boot but when i start x and kill x then its just black or flashing things heheh i dont know what to do!!

Okay, as I see, there are some patches which supposedly fix most of the problems.
I installed with Reiser4 as root system, modified startup scripts to disable fsck (hence remounting).
It works fine most of the time, but I get rare MD5 failures while downloading using portage/wget... this didn't happen even once with xfs...
Similarly Firefox compilation failures - weird, although the tree is green. I'm doing a clean pull right now to see it it'll help.
That's a major showstopper for me.
[EDIT: WRONG, it's always the same failure - it seems there's a bug?
I was trying Aviary branch from CVS... will try the trunk]

the files to patch are fs/reiser4/debug.c and fs/reiser4/reiser4.h, or you can go to http://www.andrewnelson.org/2.6.6-evil3-r1.patch.bz2 to get evil-sources 2.6.6-evil3-r1 which is basically 2.6.6-love5, nfsacl, -supermount, cdfs (a cd file system that makes the sessions into iso images which you can copy to your hard drive, for audio cds, it shows the tracks as wav files), and the reiser4 large key patch. I can't seem to get reiser4 working as a root partition, it doesn't even get to init and it oopses out, i'll post my .config when i get to my computer._________________This post has been over explained for newb-informing purposes.

I'll try those eeeeevil sources anyway.
[EDIT]: You haven't included the fix to Packet CD Writing[/EDIT]

[EDIT]: Failure... this really doesn't support Reiser4 as root.
Dies with TONS of messages. Couldn't scroll-lock on them.
Guess I'll redo the system with multiple partitions anyway.
(2nd time this month... ehh? Maybe I'll pass on Reiser4 for now.
ReiserFS will be enough.)
I have to measure them to find expected usage - I keep PORTDIR on /var for example.[/EDIT]
